On the season, Osako graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets across 4 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38. At 27 Osako is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.
Osako is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Sanfrecce Hiroshima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2 clean sheets in 4 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 37.7 overall — developing / rotation level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
